Utah Gives 225,000

Acres to Government

Salt Lake City, Apr. 6.

The State of Utah on Friday agreed to trade 225000 acres of its land in the Great Salt Lake desert to the United States Government in exchange for an equal parcel of public domain in another part of the State.

The exchange will make it possible for the Government to have a consolidated holding of more than a million acres in the desert to be used for the world's largest aerial bombing and gunnery range.—United Press.
